okay, this might be hard to get an answer from the people I want to, but is there anyone who played Metroid 2 back when it came out? Without spoiler I mean?
What I want to know is, how did you react to the ending? Did you try to shoot the larva when it emerged? Did you understand what was going on?
Incidentally, did playing Metroid and Metroid 2 beforehand affect your experience of Super Metroid? Did it made its sacrifice more meaningful or something?
No one?
I had played Super before so I knew what was happening. If I recall correctly in the original Samus Returns you aren't allowed to shoot in the larva room so you don't have a choice.
